Modular systemKATTCLIMB® modular access components are fabricated in modular sections. This allows for construction of endless ladder and access configurations to suit specific site requirements. Components are robotically welded for a precision perfect finish.

Minimum lead timeKATTCLIMB® modular components are kept in stock, ready to ship. The components for your specific ladder configuration are packaged together, and can typically be despatched within 24 hours or as required.

Easy deliveryThe lightweight components are delivered as a flatpack kit, which ensures easier handling and significant savings on freight costs. The components can be simply man handled to the required location or crane lifted once at destination.

On site assemblyEach ladder is provided with all necessary hardware. Wall attachment hardware is also available on request. By cutting the ladder at the base, to the required length, the system can be built to suit exact site requirements.

Safe and easy to useThe wider ladder body and unique, profiled, non slip rung design ensures increased user confidence and safety.

OSHA complaintKATTCLIMB® products and systems are designed and manufactured to meet and exceed OSHA and ANSI regulations as applicable.

What’s a Fixed Ladder? A fixed ladder is permanently attached to a structure, building, or equipment. As expected, OSHA has extensive guidelines for all types of ladders, encompassing how they are built, positioned, and used. Below we focus on standards pertaining to fixed ladders — a very common form of permanent access for many types of buildings. KATTCLIMB ladders are designed and manufactured to meet and exceed OSHA standards.

Step-Across Distance Between Fixed Ladder Rung and Platform or LandingThe step-across distance from the nearest edge of ladder to the nearest edge of equipment or structure shall not be more than 12", or less than 2.5".

ANSI provides dimensions, ratings, terminology and symbols, test methods, and performance and safety requirements for personnel, products, systems and services in hundreds of industries, especially construction. Although it is not a government agency and doesn’t have any regulatory authority to address complaints about consumer products or services, it serves as a voluntary standardization system for construction products/procedures – and has for more than 90 years.These standards are typically developed by a committee of industry professionals experienced in the particular field that the standard relates too. OSHA typically accepts ANSI standards, however we would advise that you always research the OSHA website for clarification.

All KATTCLIMB fixed ladders can be supplied to be compliant with ANSI A14.3-2008 regulations. Please specify when ordering so the correct components can be selected to maintain compliance.
